Visa for Greece from Myanmar: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. As a Myanmar passport holder you cannot enter Greece for tourism without a visa. The Type C Schengen visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period and lets you travel throughout the Schengen Area. If your itinerary covers several countries, Greece must be your main destination for the application to be lodged there.

Prepare a passport valid at least three months beyond your planned departure, a completed Schengen form, a recent photo, hotel and return-flight bookings, and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult, payable at submission. Add proof of sufficient financial means.

Apply to the Greek embassy or consulate responsible for Myanmar, or to its partner visa centre (VFS Global or equivalent). As Greece may not maintain a mission in Yangon, jurisdiction can fall to a Greek embassy in a neighbouring country; confirm the submission point with the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Book an appointment in advance and attend in person for biometrics.

• Your application goes to the state that is your main destination. If Greece is where you spend the longest, it handles the file, whatever the entry point.
• With no main destination, the competent state is the one you enter first.
• If Greece has no consulate in Myanmar, another Schengen state may act on its behalf under a representation arrangement, or the file goes to the post accredited for your country.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Myanmar, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Myanmar but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; submit as early as possible (up to six months ahead) and no later than fifteen days before departure. As Greece is highly popular in summer, anticipate strong demand and scarce appointments in peak season. Confirm exact timelines with the official source before fixing your dates.

The most common error is applying through another country when Greece is the main destination, which triggers a refusal. Also avoid insufficient insurance, a passport with too little validity, or unconfirmed bookings. Do not buy non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted.
